TERRORISM IN NIGERIA; The Way Forward?

Over 3000 souls have been lost from May 29 till date to terrorism in Nigeria, its so painful how innocent souls are lost in the process of looking for means to survive or going about their daily means.

Some consider terrorism in Nigeria as a tool to sell cheap propaganda against one another as the lives of Nigerians mean nothing to this power intoxicated group of people.

Can we fight Terrorism when we are divided?

How can we win the war against terrorism when we are bias in our judgment?

How can Nigeria be terrorism free when those that are supposed to "block the bullet are behind the trigger"?

These are questions begging for answers!

Fellow Nigerians what is the way forward?

The government of the day should enforce the security agencies from scratch,empower the local security groups, provide them with modern weaponry, deploy security experts to train and nuture them on how to protect human lives and property.

Poverty, unemployment and literacy are major factors why Nigerians are subjected to this group of terrorists, the government should provide jobs for the unemployed or set up scheme to eradicate poverty to some extent, and also the government must be able to educate people in the local villages were these bomb blast happens the disadvantages terrorism is causing in Nigeria.

A country that is not corruption free can never be terrorism free! How?

We have seen cases of government officials embezzling money meant for securing lives and properties of Nigerians and therefore the government must first fight corruption without devoid of partisanship, then appoint right thinking Nigerians to head the security sector.

Finally, self awareness is key, we should be cautions of the people we move with, don't just accommodate people anyhow, and also stay away from areas were bomb blast occur frequently.

Above all, a free and safe Nigeria we should all seek.
